Appeal for weapons
The Syrian opposition council's head, Abdel Basset Sayda, appealed to foreign backers for heavy weapons to help the opposition counter the government's superior firepower.
Visiting Abu Dhabi, the SNC chief said the rebels need weapons that can stop tanks and planes. He said that such supplies will "make Syrians able to defend themselves against this killing machine."
As the fighting raged, Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Mualem made a previously unannounced visit to Syria's staunch ally, Iran.
At a Tehran news conference, he asserted that what he called the "anti-Syrian forces" gathered in Aleppo to fight the government "will definitely be defeated."
Iranian warning
Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi warned about the consequences for the region and the world should the Assad government fall.
He said it is "naive" and "an illusion" to think that if there is a power vacuum in Syria and a transition of power, a new government could easily be established.
Pope Benedict appealed for an end to all violence and bloodshed in Syria and called on the international community to spare no effort to help find a just political solution to conflict.
Speaking at his summer retreat of Castel Gandolfo, the pope also asked Syria's neighbors to help refugees fleeing the violence and make sure they are given all necessary humanitarian assistance.
